Oh man I love it! Very well done and I love your ideas about him one uping everyone with his weaponry! Great use of the IM suit! The paint work is awesome and shows a lot of skiils you have developed.

Taking a break on SW figs while I wait on parts to arrive (and another paycheck), so here are some pics of one of my Transformer customs.  Pardon the dust, he's been on the shelves for a while.

This is Optimus Prime's and Ultra Magnus' other brother, Decimus Major  (Dex).  Dex led a small team that patrolled the outer-rim territories...dealing justice to pirates, smugglers and Decepticons.  A no-nonsense leader, Decimus is beloved by his loyal crew, but is seen as sort of a hardcase by the Autobot Council.  His broadsword "Voyager" is able to download any special abilities from a defeated foe directly into Dex's spark core.  Anywho, this custom was made using a bootleg Laser Optimus Prime I got online.  It has held up surprisingly well, and is the same size as the original, sometimes the bootlegs are smaller.  Since I wanted him to fit in with my store-bought Transformers he has a "clean" paint job.

Decimus Major (Dex), armed with concussion rifle and broadsword "Voyager".








Also, here is a teaser for my Junkion Tribe!  Individual shots and alt-modes to come.

Thanks! Here are more Transformers.  This set was completed about 2-3 years ago and are really the first pieces I attempted to do any sort of weathering on.  I'd always just done "clean" paint jobs.  These have mud splatter on the tires/treads and paint scuffs.  Beginner stuff, really...but everyone's gotta start somewhere.  I aplogize in advance for the poor picture quality.  It seems my camera is finicky.  Sometimes the pics are GREAT, other times they are blurry and grainy...but the setings are the same.  Oh, well.

The Autobot Black Ops squad "Shadowhunters". 



Squad Leader: Groundpounder.  Loyal to the Autobot cause, GP is a natural leader.  Always cheerful, without being annoying, he keeps the other two in line.





Demolitions Expert: Ballistic.  He's thiiiis close to being a Decepticon.  Surly and mean, he refuses to wear an Autobot sigil.  A promise he made long ago keeps him a good guy.





Sniper: Longshot.  Top Shot of Cybertron 26 mega-cycles straight.  Acts a counter-point to both Groundpounder and Ballistic.

JediMindTrix...the Movie Bonecrusher has a Robots in Disquise Wedge head-swap.  The Movie Wreckage body has a head-swap from a Universe Megatron, w/ extra magnetic weaponry, while the Universe Megatron body got a new head from a generic dollar store fig, and a tank barrel/sniper rifle from another Movie Bonecrusher.

Thanks for the support!

...and now back to Star Wars figs.

Latest member of the Mythosaur Squad, Mandalorian warriors based on the Generation One Dinobots from Transformers.

This is Snarl.  He hates everything.  He only begrudgingly follows Grimlock's orders, and then usually gripes and grumbles the entire mission.  He's only happy when he's destroying something.  Combat is his only joy.





The fins on his shoulder armor are the visual link to the spines of the original's beast mode, and the mace is a link to the spiked tail of a real stegosaurus.
Different lighting:


Only two more (Slag & Sludge) to go!  I have an idea for Slag (triceratops) that will tie into his beast mode, but I have NO idea what I'm going to do w/ Sludge (brontosaurus).

Wanted to stop in and say how much I like your concept for a Fett progeny; Ra'Zhar Fett looks very nice.  Nice backstory and informational tidbits too: laser-blocking farts...LMAO!

Another nice job on the Grimlock-inspired Mando; the spiked pauldron creates that visual connection between the TF version and this guy.  Really liking this one!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
